Oh it's broken alright. The cost of health care insurance has been
doubling every decade, employers are dropping or cutting back
coverage or in some cases moving production overseas to escape health
coverage costs.

Straw man. Health "insurance" is not the same thing as "health care."

What an astonishing statement. Seriously, to suggest that health insurance
is not epoxied, riveted, bolted and welded to every aspect of health care in
America is to make a statement so unbelievable as to be worthy of a member
of Congress.

When the Shah of Iran was diagnosed with cancer, he came to the US for
treatment. Not Canada. Not France. The United States.

But of course, if you have unlimited finances you can get the best health
care in the world in America. Alas, most Americans don't have unlimited
finances, they have to hope their insurance company (if they have one) will
approve the high-tech scan their doctor wants to do or whatever other
procedure they need. If they don't have insurance--as one in six Americans
do not--then it gets a bit trickier. Of course there are those with the
attitude that since they have good coverage and thus access to good care
then it's tough **** for anyone and everyone else, there are always people
like that.
